LED bulbs use50% - 90%less electricitythan traditional fluorescent bulbs
LED bulb lasts
Incandescent bulb
lasts 1,000 hours

LED lighting can reduce facility electric costs by
20-50% based on which light source is being
replaced
Maintenance expenses in lighting
manifest in 3 areas:
üCost of replacement lamps and fixtures
üCost of labor to replace lamps
üWarranty protection and duration
Conventional bulbs are changed
50xbefore LEDs are changed once

labor-and-maintenance-costs/
Average light bulb changing time ≈15 mins
Labor cost ≈ $12/hour
Replacing 1 led bulb ≈ $3.00
Conventional bulbs are
changed 50x before LEDs are
changed once.
(50 x $3.00)= $150 for 1
conventional bulb

The 47,000 hotels and motels in the United States
spend about six percent of their operating costs on
energy each year

A 10% reduction in energy consumption has the same financial
effect as increasing the average daily room rate by $0.62 in
limited-service hotels and by $1.35 in full-service hotels

Lighting retrofits reduce electricity by 50%
and cut cooling requirements by 10-20 %
A Las Vegas hotel replaced inefficient metal halide lights
on the building’s facade with LED lighting; this saved the
facility $41,000/annually

A Wisconsin casino saved over $221,000 in electric costs the
first year LEDs were installed, and was projected to save
$120,000 in maintenance costs over the next six years
